They claim to have forces incoming from another galaxy! It seems that this war is one that will once again shatter the galaxy. The strange patterns are warp jump inhibitors. The Sol Marauders have been a thorn in our side for over fifty years, now they die. We then contact our allies and organise a mass trade of technologies our ship designs will jump ahead decades. These worlds are surrounded by an ancient evil, I fear they may already be lost. Shakturi ships immediately attack our worlds in the southern region of space. We now have allies as well the races in blue. The Guardians send their forces against the Shakturi. We send them against the true threat the pirates! Starting with the Sol Marauders! They give us 36 ships with nearly 10,000 firepower.


The Refugees are the Shakturi! The thing we care more about is the offer of a powerful fleet! We have already annoyed the Shakturi to much to side with them, our only hope is to join the Guardians in the Utopian alliance. The Ancient Guardians contact us for the second time. We lose several ships, and are forced to flee. We hit the Deadly Mercenaries base ourselves, but it is heavily defended. The Dread Authority launch a major attack on Mailstrum 1. This apparently causes the Naxxilian Sovereignty to declare war on them. News then comes in that the Erutkah have completed a great wonder at one of their colonies. The leadership say no, we do not want to fund the menace any more than necessary. Now we have money, all the pirates want to sell us advanced technology. One of our Dongu class cruisers, the Crimson Fury, captures a mining station off some pirates. We use this money to commission our first capital ships the King Cobra class puts out 410 firepower and its well shielded and fast. For 900,000 credits and an end to their trade sanctions. With the Erutkah Refugees expanding so quickly, we decide it is a good idea to sell them that gas mining station they claim.
